The issue is its high level of omega 6 and like other high PUFA oils, can oxidize more quickly than others (not good). Older folks are supposedly less able to make use of the form of omega 3 in flax, though I just read that Seth Roberts (of Shangri La diet fame) thinks that's not necessarily the case. If you're gonna eat flax, better to grind the seeds and eat the meal over the oil.

Wait, what's up with the flaxseed oil? That's usually a paleo no-no. Also, my vote is with the starch. In my experience adding glucose to a meal, even a little bit, can make it a whole lot more filling. And maybe fat other than bacon, like butter or coconut fat or tallow.

If you are young and active, I would guess that adding some starchy veggies to that meal might help. Try some winter squash, yam, or the like with some butter and see how you feel...And I do think that at three weeks in, that your body would definitely still be adjusting, especially if you were eating SAD.

If you're hungry just eat. If weighing every gram work for you, do it. But I'd advise you stop that and just eat till you are not hungry anymore, just listen to your body. Unless you only weighed and measure this meal only to provide us more info in this post. And 8oz of steak with a couple pieces of bacon is really not that much food, especially if you're young and athletic.

Make sure you're getting to bed in time, sleeping 8-9 hours. Personally, my hunger gets all weird when I don't sleep enough.
